I have 2 new 2332L units. all is working fine, remote access enabled etc. cannot seem to get it to pan or tilt. it will only zoom in (much too close), but not out. anyone else have this issue - or better yet an answer. D-LINK online was not helpful. an hour with 1-800 left me with the dreaded "we will get back to you..."
any help appreciated. purpose of buying these was for the PZT function

It doesn't do a real pan. It has a virtual pan function, but the camera does not move, so you're limited to panning between what the full frame captures. It simulates panning and zooming by digital zoom and showing you a window of the full frame. I don't find it particularly useful, so I haven't used it much. I've only used it via the direct camera interface, not via any of the mydlink viewers.
In IE, you should be able to use the big icon on the left of the live view to zoom and pan manually.
It can also be programmed to pan automatically between several different locations. This is kind of a complicated thing to set up. The "Preset" section of the user manual attempts to describe this. In the camera setup menu (advanced settings from mydlink) select "Setup" at the top, and "Audio and Video" on the left. You have to set one of the video profiles to a large frame size (e.g. 1280x800), and set the "View window area" to a smaller size. This smaller window is your virtual zoom size. Once you've done this, go to the "Preset" tab on the left, and select the video profile number you just updated. You'll see a red square on the image, representing the view window within the larger frame. Drag it to an object you want to pan to. Then in the preset section, enter a preset name (name of the object) and click add. Repeat for at least one other preset name and location in the image. Then you can add the names to the preset sequence at the bottom, with a dwell time for each (how long the camera stays at that view). Once you've done all this you can go to the live video tab. At the bottom, select the image profile number that has the large frame/small view setup. You can now click on the zigzag arrow at the left, and the camera will pan between the view locations you defined. You can also use the other view selection tools on this page.

I decided to use one HD camera like the DCS-2310L or DCS-2332L for the area I most need to see clearly, and supplement with a couple of cheap DCS-930L cameras to see other areas. This gives me more motion detection coverage than one PTZ camera that can only point in one direction at a time. This is because I'm not usually watching in real time, I'm depending on the motion detection to capture images I'll view later. PTZ is more suited to real-time viewing.

That's a review by a 3rd party site, not an advertisement.

I will review the definition link. false advertising though if you read their own description

also ePTZ did NOT work! it is a real a mess with this camera! green light also in front did not disabled. Image qaulity on night shots is worst even from 60 euro camera that i replaced. My firmware version is 1.05 (latest).
So 200+ Euros I spend on this camera are wasting money as they are not for protecting my house perimeter :-\
